Wolf's POV

I was having a wonderful dream when I was back at the packhouse with my mate downstairs making me a midnight snack. I was going downstairs when I was woken up by some noise. I lifted my head at the entrance of the cave and listened for the sound again. Maybe it was a squirrel or something. I decided it has to be, so I can go back and enjoy seeing Crystal again. I laid my head down on my paws when the sound came again. It sounded like a whimper or a whine. My head bolted up as I looked at the entrance.

Could it have been Red? Was she captured? The sound came again as I turned my head to see if she was still there. When the sound came once more, I noticed that it didn't come from outside but rather from inside the cave. But Red was sleeping on the floor, untouched.

I watched her face as she made the sound again. Her brows were constantly knitting themselves together. 'Could she be having a nightmare, Raph?' I asked as he stood up and walked to her. 'No, she's having a fairytale dream.' He said sarcastically. 'Does that look like a face that's having a pleasant dream.' he growled at me.

Raph stood over her not sure what he should do, or what she would let us do to comfort her. Another whimper from her and he lowered his head and brushed his muzzle against her cheek as she was gonna whimper again. Her eyes flung open before she pushed him onto his back and held the dagger in her hand up against his throat. She blinked down at him, looking into his eyes before she started panting. It was then that I realized she was holding her breath. "What the hell wolf? Are you that f*****g suicidal?" She climbed off our chest and sat down on the floor. She covered her eyes with her free hand as the other sat on top of her dagger on the floor. I shifted back into my human form. "Sorry Red. Are you okay? You were whimpering in your sleep." Her hand slid down and her right eye glared at me. At that moment, I froze, she looked like she was going to kill me. Ralph started whimpering in the back of my mind. 'Why is mate looking at us like that?' he whined. "You must have heard things. I don't whimper." She said as she took her hand away from her eyes.

"What godforsaken time have you woken me up at?" She glared at me. I turned my head and looked at the entrance. "It's about four in the morning." She stood up and holstered the dagger before making her way to the cave entrance. She held onto the wall and leaned out to look around. One of her legs extended out so she stayed balanced. I looked at her leg as her toes seemed to be pointed. When I looked at her other leg I saw she was standing on her toes as well. 'She looks so graceful.' I thought. 'Graceful? Mate nearly killed us.' Raph whined. 'Dude. How come she was our mate when we had Crystal?' I couldn't help but ask him again. Once again, he disappeared into the back of my mind.

I was going to shout at him for continuing to do that when Red walked past me. All I saw was her thighs and ass as she walked to her things. I turned and watched her. Raph and I liked the sight all too much. She bent over for her backpack. Part of me is scared she's getting something out of her bag to kill us, or even worse, to torture us. The other part with Raph is enjoying the full view of her ass. She pulled something out of the bag and turned sideways to look at me. "Here..." She said, extending her hand out with half a loaf of bread.

She froze and stared at me. The anger had left her eyes. I followed her eye-line and looked down. Expecting something to be on me. But I have had no such luck. My d**k was standing fully erect. Making a rather large bulge in my pants appear. 'Raph you horny bastard!' I shouted at him. 'Not like you weren't looking as well. This is as much my fault as it is yours.' He growled back at me.

I tried to push it down as Red's cheeks became pink. She lifted the other half to her mouth and kept it there like she was taking mouse bites of it. She walked up to me. She knelt beside me and placed the other half of the bread on top of my hands before she walked to the cave's entrance. She sat there by the entrance and looked out into the forest, taking very small bites of the loaf. I hold down my erection with one hand while I try my hardest to think of anything that would get this thing to go down. But every time I would open my eyes and see her back, Raph would paint a picture of her bending over while I f****d her from behind. Needless to say, it had been a long time since we had got any action and he was making sure I knew it.

I had already finished the bread while Red was halfway through with hers. And my d**k seems to be harder than it was when she saw it. 'Raph stopped being a horny pup. We have to get it down before she comes back in. What if she gets the wrong idea and leaves?' I said to him. 'Never, I'll mark her and make sure she never leaves.' he growled out of lust. 'You'd mark her without her permission?' I asked as he started fighting for control. 'I will not lose another mate!' He growled out loud as he won the fight and took control.

Red's head picked up. She slowly turned her head and looked at me through the corner of my eye. Raph went on my hands and started to crawl towards her. She stared at me before she stood up with a twirl. When she turned back to me, she kicked me across the face. Knocking Raph out of control and me back in. She held the bread up and took another bite before she raised her brow at me.

"Is everything sorted now?" I rubbed my cheek as it started to sting from her kick. "Yes, I'm sorry. Raph's..." She rolled her eyes and sat down facing me. "You're a wolf without a mate. I should have expected you would try to jump me last night." She said before taking another bite. I was surprised. She wasn't being sarcastic nor was she swearing. "But I hope that I've cleared things up." She set a firm glare at me. I nodded my head. She smiled, this gorgeous smile that set my heart ablaze with a feeling I thought I would never feel again. I smile back at her, probably like a lovesick puppy, but I can't help but want her. I don't understand how she's my mate, but I'm glad I was given a second chance to be happy.

Red's POV

I've heard about wolves being horny creatures but he didn't try anything last night, so I thought that he wouldn't. Seeing that he had lost his mate. I still feel like he's not telling me everything, but then that's none of my business. I just need the hunters to leave, then I can be on my way and he can be out of my hair.

I smile at the thought that he is so lucky. I'm not in the mood to have killed him. I noticed that he smiled back. He looked adorable. I couldn't help a chuckle that escaped my lips. "Something amusing?" He smiled wider. He just keeps surprising me. "Your wolf doesn't know how lucky he is." I smiled at him, as I remembered, "Last wolf that tried that landed up never being able to do that again." I leaned forward as his face turned from confusion to terror. I stare at his expressions. Normally, their terror would be the butter on my bread, but his makes me upset. I turned and looked at the forest. "I wouldn't have. Stop looking like you didn't want to die two days ago." I finished the last of the loaf before looking back at him as he let out a sigh. I smiled to myself as he seemed to ease up.

What the hell is wrong with me?! My eyes widened as I just realized what I was thinking. When the hell did I give a rat's ass about anyone but myself? His horny wolf was gonna f**k me and I didn't treat him like the rest that tried that. I'm not even acting like myself.

I covered my eyes with my hand as I slid down the wall. It started with that f*****g dream that has been appearing for the last four years like clockwork near and on the full moon. I physically feel weaker and sick. Mentally, I'm not much different than my physical condition. It pisses me off, something furious.

The dream starts with this wolf chasing me. Then, on the night of the full moon, it gets to him f*****g my brains out. I hate them because I can't stop him, I'm helpless and that pisses me off.

Last night, I dreamt of it for the first time this month. f**k me. My head shoots up as I stare at him crutching down in front of me. "Red?" He looks like he was gonna ask something but my question is more important. So I cut him off. "When's the full moon?" He looked out at the sky before looking me in the eyes. "In two days." My eyes widened. "Shit." Came out of my mouth. Wolf looked taken back by my word. "What's wrong?" I looked up at him, his words seemed like they were laced with concern. "I need to leave now.". I said before making my way back inside the cave. "You can't leave, Red. The hunters should be leaving today, thinking that they just missed you."

He's right, but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. If he can't control his wolf now, what's the full moon gonna be like? I won't have the strength to stop him or the hunters. Maybe I could backtrack. Go back to the other town, but then when they get to the next f*****g town and realize that I haven't been there, they will most probably wait for me. f**k me. Wait... No. Scratch that, Wolf might jump at the opportunity of my poor choice of words.

I grabbed my hood from the entrance and walked over to my things. I picked up my things and turned to him as he was blocking the entrance. "That is none of your concern. I'm leaving." I walked to the entrance when I saw his eyes change to blue. "Red!" He growled out as he grabbed hold of my waist. "You will not leave." He growled lowly at me. Is he trying to order me around? I'm not his to f*****g control. "Release me NOW!" I grabbed onto his hands and tried to kick him. He carried me back into the cave and pinned me against the wall with his body. I dropped my things and tried to push him away from me. "You asshole!" I tried my best to get out of his grip as he pressed his body against mine.

I froze when I felt something move in between my thighs and touch me down there. Wolf started to growl loudly in my ears. "You will NOT leave!" He started grinding his hips against me. Making his d**k grow harder and rubbing against my v****a through my clothes.

Didn't he learn his lesson the first time? f**k him then! I thought as I reached for my daggers, but his arms were stopping me from getting to them. s**t! I put my hands in front of me and started pushing him away before I raised my fist. I was gonna slam him in his empty head when he grabbed my hands and held them above my head. He reached behind me and brought the daggers out of the holsters. He held both of them in his hand before he threw them to the end of the cave. He stared down at me with those blue burning eyes. "Mine." He growled down at me. "I am not yours!" I tried to kneel him in the ground but he grabs hold of my thigh and lifts it and sets it on the side of his hip.

His d**k pressing on the entrance of my p***y even more now. It twitched, causing a shiver to go through my body. A moan came out muffled as I tried to stop it. "Get off of me!" I tried to wiggle my way out but all it did was rub his d**k at the entrance even more, causing me to get wet. Wolf lowers his head before he takes a few sniffs. He lifts his head with this huge grin on his face, making me even wetter. His fangs showed as his wolf looked like he was hungry for me. "I can smell your arousal, Red." He growled at me. He leaned down towards my face and started breathing heavily. "You are mine. I will not lose...." He trailed off before he lifted his head high and faced the entrance.

He growled loudly as he flung me to the end of the cave that had the daggers. Before I could even get a chance to think about what to do, the wall hit my back. The impact flung my head back against the wall. Everything went black.

Wolf's POV

'Raph, you can't take her this way!' I shouted at him as I struggled against him. He's preventing me from taking back control. I understand he doesn't want to lose another mate, but he'll drive her away like this.

The snapping of tree branches came from outside the cave. 'Hunters!' he growled in our head. He flung Red further into the cave before heading out to chase them away. Luckily, the erection had gone down because nothing is more of a mood killer than someone trying to take away or kill your mate.

As we walked out, he let me take control again. Most probably because he would have killed all of them on the spot and then more hunters would come and Red would want to leave again. They all held shotguns in their hands with handguns on their hips. There were about fifteen men all together standing behind this smug man with a messy beard and long hair. "Oh, a wolf. Good." He said as he walked up to me. "We are looking for a young woman." He stopped in front of me as I folded my arms against my chest. "Aren't we all?" I raised a brow and earned a few laughs from his men. He chuckled before he spoke again. "I wouldn't want to run into this one if I were you. She's very dangerous. Killed twenty of my men. She wears a red hood and has a unique dagger made of silver. Have you seen her?"

Raph growled in my head. He wasn't going to give her to them and neither was I.

They've most likely spoken to the town folk, including that doctor. I don't know if she had bandaged up her arm herself or by the doctor so I can not lie to them. It could just tip them off if I did. "I ran into her at the hot spring two days ago." The man in front of me nodded his head. "So we heard. You left some claw marks on her arm. I'm just wondering why you are still alive?" He glared up at me. I growled down at them. "She ripped my claws out of her arm by knocking me into the hot spring.". I growled louder at them. "That's the last I saw of her." The man stepped back with his hand up. "I'm sure if she hasn't left your territory by now she's making haste to leave." He stepped back and smiled at me. "Don't worry. When we find her she won't be bothering anyone anymore." I had to suppress the growl that wanted to leave my throat at those words. He was gonna kill my mate if he found her. 'Over my dead body!' Raph growled loudly in my head.

I watched and waited till they were all out of sight before I returned to the cave. I took a deep breath as I ran my hands through my hair. 'I'm sure Red's gonna kill us for what you did, Raph.' He growled lowly in my head. 'Hopefully sending the hunters off will give us a bit of mercy.' I said to him.

"Red.". I said lowly as I turned to face her. "I'm sor..." I stared at her. She was faced down on the ground. 'How hard did you throw her?!' I shouted at Raph as I made my way up to her. "Red." I knelt down and touched her arm. 'Damn it Raph. What did you do to our mate?' Raph started to whimper in my head. I turned her over and picked her up. "Red, wake up please. I'm sorry." I cooed in her ear as I sat down and held her against me. I placed my hand behind her head to give it support. As I pressed her hair down, I felt something wet. I brought my hand out and said it had a bit of blood on it. She must have hit the wall when Raph threw her. 'Raphael, if she doesn't wake up I will make sure you will suffer. Worse than when we lost Crystal!' I growled at him. His only response was to whimper louder in my head.

I lifted my leg and rested her back against it as I pulled her as close as possible. I couldn't help but wonder why she lied to me. She told me they were after her because she had taken that gun from them. To be fair, I didn't believe it when she told me. But twenty of his men? I know she's strong, but she's not that strong. Is she?
